The Schedule referred `tio in these Lettera Patent and making part ofthe same.

To all ufhoni it mtl/y concern,- Be it know-n that I, `JOHN H. WILHELM,of Chicago, in the county of 'Cook-'and IState of Illinois,

\ `have invented i an Improved "Curtain-Fixture ;and

I do'herebydeclarel-that the` following is a full and exact descriptionthereof', `which will enabletliose skilled in the art to make andusefthesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and lettersmarked thereon making a part of this speeiicatiomin wliich" .l figure 1is `an elevationofa ,windowwithinyour-l tain-fixture attached. i i lFigurev 2, a section of the roller and fixture.' Figure 3, a sectionyoft'heinside brackets, the form `necessary tobeused when i is requiredthat they be `fastened to the jams 'of thewindow-fralne. I

Figure '4, a front elevation of the spool and bracket, showing thecord-guard;v l

Figure 5, 'an end elevation of the spool and bracket. The object of thisinvention is lto provide an adjust` able Window-curtain fixture that canbe easily made `andfputnp, conveniently operated, and vnot liable to getont of repair; and e i Its nature consists in the combination andarrangement of parts as hereinafter more fully descrbed. 13, fig.2,representsa wooden roller, so turned as to form a spool, Q, journal Z,and to have a shoulder to i 'which a collar-plate, G, corresponding tothe spooll Acollar-plate H ofthe bracket H I, is firmly tacked, andhaving a hole in the large end to receive the socket R.

' 'The cord M, figs; 1 and 2, is attached, by means of an orifice, tothespool collar-plate G, a small portion of the wood being cut out of theside of the roller, back of the orifice, to allow the knot on the cordto lieiiiush with the roller. e 'Elie -roller B being originally made ofsulicient length, the large end may besawed olf sc as to adjust it tmwindowsA of various `widths, and-thesocket R is thenplaced securelyinthe hole bored injthe end of .t11e roller.` l i i H I, iig. 2, is abracket, so consti-noted that the socket I has a spool collar-plate, H,with a cord-guard, c'. The guard c' is designed to prevent the cord Mfrom running into the narrow space between the jour- .nal Z andthesocket I( e socket U, when pressed intosaid'socket is held iirmly i byits own elasticity. i

` The socket R, also, serves as a guide to said spring, and aii'ords awasher against which spring T operates, fand is made larger in diameterthan the socket U, so as to rotate freely around .the spring T thatprojects within it.

Having described my invention,

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

Therspring socket-guide R, the doublesocket O U, in combination with thecylindrical coiled spring T, roller B, 'spool collar-plate G, bracket-HI, and cord guard O', when all the parts are constructed and ar'- rangedto operate as 4herein described for the purpose specified.v
